Marcos said this as he led the distribution of regular Certificates of Land Ownership Award (CLOA) and e-titles to Reform Beneficiaries (ARBs), as well as machinery and equipment, in Tubod, Lanao del Norte on Friday, July 5.

In his speech, the President said the government will improve the quality of life of agricultural families by being unrelenting in developing and strengthening policies and prioritizing the welfare of agricultural workers.

"Hindi kami titigil sa [paglikha], pagpapatibay, at pagpapatupad ng aming mga polisiyang [magpapagaan] ng inyong pamumuhay at [magpapayabong] sa buong sektor ng agrikultura, hindi lamang dito sa inyo kung hindi sa buong Pilipinas (We will not stop in creating, strenghtening, and implementing policies to ease your plight and improve the country's agriculture sector)," he said.

“Hindi po kami napapagod sa pag-iisip ng mga proyekto at programang [magtataguyod sa] inyong kapakanan (We will not get tired of coming up with projects and programs that will promote your welfare),” he added.

A total of 2,558 regular CLOAs and e-titles covering 3,006.12 hectares were distributed to ARBs from the provinces of Bukidnon, Camiguin, Lanao del Norte, Misamis Oriental, and Misamis Occidental during the event.

"Ito ay katuparan ng aming pangako na suyurin ang buong bansa — ang bawat lalawigan— upang palakasin ang hanay ng ating mga magsasaka (This is the fulfillment of our promise to go around the Philippines and strengthen our farmers)," Marcos said.

"We are not only giving away land but also providing them with machinery and financial assistance to ensure that these lands thrive and uplift the lives of all beneficiaries," he said in a separate Facebook post.

During the event, President Marcos also led the turnover of seven farm machinery and equipment worth P2.68 million to farmer-group beneficiaries in Lanao del Norte. These include two mini-hauling trucks, a mini farm tractor, a mobile rice mill, a mobile corn sheller, and a banana-slicing chopping machine.

The President urged the beneficiaries to maximize the use of the services and programs extended by the government and to support its measures "toward a Bagong Pilipinas."
